This Notice notifies the States of the revised amounts available pursuant to section 157(d) of the Continuing Appropriations Resolution (Resolution), 2010, Public Law (Pub. L.) 111-68, as amended by Pub. L. 111-118. The amount of these funds and associated obligation limitation for each State is shown in the attached table.
